“My Mum, Sister and I were looking for a local to check out for a nice meal and fun atmosphere. This place did not disappoint. From when we walked in, we were warmly greeted by VIP who was a very great Bar Manager and Host. My sister said her steak, eggs, salad and chips was one the best that she has had in awhile, Mum had fish and chips which she thoroughly enjoyed and my delicious crispy chicken burger was huge along with the tasty chips, compliments to the chef. Definitely recommend to all and look forward to the upcoming changes they will be doing.”
